Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Conceptual

Another work from my a bit weird series.

I've made this one for the PHOTOMANIPULATE COMPETITION held by

It's a freestyle contest so Ive decided to make something similar to my 5 o'clock manipulation.

Stock I used:

Model: [link]
Model's outfit: dress [link] accessories [link] cage [link] frog [link]
Model's hairstyle: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

Background: [link] [link]
Textures: [link] [link] [link]

Critique by ~1Rabbit May 31, 2012, 10:21:34 PM

Another winner & I truly can find very little about which to be critical. I want to know the story: WHY is she carrying a frog in a bird cage? Where is she taking it?

Your extractions are excellent, The composition is good - rather difficult when the mass of your figure is unbalanced by the cage on her left, but because she's bending to her right, her central placing in the archway works.

Your construction of the dress is superb - never have so few feathers covered so much! Your blending of textures with the background & the colouring of the piece is seamless. The figure is strongly backlit & her shadow on the floor is consistent with this. However, the shadows of her face on her neck & her skirt on her legs are not. They're well done, but I'm not sure that they're consistent with backlighting.

In the original of the arch there is strong light from the right, & this is still evident in the highlights low down on the decorative supports. The model is not placed far enough forward for her to have this light from the right fall on her, yet the highlights on her (cheeks & arms in particular) imply a frontal light source. If this were the case, the walls & most of arch would not be in light shadow, as they are.

This is already a wonderful piece with its touch of surreal whimsey, & I think a more careful consideration of the lighting sources would have made it a great one. As it is, I really love it.
Hope this is helpful.
